I agree with that comment. Experts can be wrong, of course, but the null hypothesis is that their opinion is 'more correct' than that of a science journalist.

As an aside, nobody really believed the earth was flat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth.

> nobody really believed the earth was flat

Your link only debates that during the Middle Ages people thought the earth was flat.

Those living in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt believed we all lived on a flat disc or plane floating in the ocean.

I couldn't win without cheating ^:) It's crazy how ingrained in my memory is the code tho, could remember it automatically after maybe 25 years

True, I can see your public key, username, and IP I guess. I only log the username and hash of the public key/password that I use for storing save files (the logs are for debugging, but I swear I don't sell them to google). You can see what I do in the source, of course you have to trust me on that :)

Yes, sorry should've said I never doubted you!

My comment more addressed to the clients, who can mitigate the issue with appropriate ssh_config.

More specifically, make sure that you aren't forwarding your ssh keys; otherwise the game can impersonate you on any server the keys work on.

Ah, that's worse than a mere privacy issue! Good point.

I was thinking merely about anonymity.

Both can be largely eliminated by having per host or per organization Identities and using IdentitiesOnly.

I used the pixel planet generator to generate low resolution gifs, which I then combine together to get the galaxy gifs

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Have you tried this link: https://streamable.com/huxiwr ?

I know VHS, only problem is that that demo is a bit involved to properly script it..

That link works, thanks :) I had tried a couple links earlier and they hadn't. Does that song say "dogboy"?

But seeing your video makes me realize the colors are messed up in my terminal and don't look near as nice as your video. Maybe a theme or something I have is messing it up... will muck more.

I just built rebels and tried "vhs record" and played the tape and the results weren't good. Even just a couple curated screenshots could communicate a lot there on the README, especially for a game.

I explored this more. Does Rebels require TrueColor? I think that's what the problem is, Apple Terminal doesn't support it (https://github.com/termstandard/colors?tab=readme-ov-file#no...). It works fine in Kitty.

Love FTL, would be sick to port it to terminal graphics

You mean the song in the trailer? It's the japanese OST for Kenshiro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenshiro

The story is quite simple, I just loved the anime when I was a kid :)

The italian version is also incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPIcdhjPG5I

Ahh nice to know! Never managed to test it

My server can't handle all the traffic, guess it's an opportunity to show that the game doesn't need a central authority to keep working.

I created another relayer and ssh node on 85.214.130.204, you can either ssh to this machine `ssh 85.214.130.204 -p 3788` (but the relaying won't work as it tries to connect to the old server), or start your local client with the flag `rebels -i 85.214.130.204` to specify the alternative relayer node ip address.

Thanks! I agree, I really need to write a wiki or something. The problem is that this game started as a basketball managerial game and then got completely derailed as I kept implementing whatever I thought was cool at the moment.

I think there are mainly 3 themes to play for:

- Basketball: assemble the best possible team. Basically try to acquire as much money as possible to hire the best free agents;

- Money: just try to get as rich as possible, using the market and in the future your asteroids;

- Space adventure: get the best possible spaceship (more options will be available in future releases) and have fun in the spaceshooter game you can access from your team pane (button 'Space adventure').

I tried to combine and summarize these 3 themes by having a reputation score assigned to your team, which can increase based on all 3 conditions. In the Swarm pane there is a Top Ranking window where the best crews are listed.

Figata spaziale!!!! Sono qui a mascella spalancata
